The emblem in the background reminds me of when Pepper told Coulson back in Iron Man to come up with a shorter way to identify his organization - the explanation for why it became that in the films I guess you could say was because of Pepper. Still its quite catchy to say S.H.I.E.L.D. instead of five words. Its quicker and other organizations have done the same like HYDRA.
I was glad to see she had more screen time as an Avenger than she did as a supporting character in Iron Man 2.
So like the previous poster... you definitely put time and energy into this gem.

The whole story of how they needed to come up with a shorter name was priceless and Pepper coming up with it just makes it all the better.
I was also very happy Black Widow got more screen time in the Avengers. She's probably my favorite character in the Marvel Universe (followed closely by Pepper) so I'm always happy to see her around in one form or another.

Indeed
I think the A being only letter that didn't fall off the Stark logo on the tower was intentional. At the same time I was thinking of a comment made by Spider-Man 2099. He works for a company called Alchemax, which upon seeing their logo so many times finally realizes "they ripped off the Avengers logo".
The first time I saw Black Widow in animation format was the Ultimate Avengers I & II followed several years later by the current on-going Earth's Mightiest Heroes: Avengers even though she isn't an Avenger per se only she is caught between SHIELD and HYDRA.
Plus there appears to be a developing love interest setup between her and the series version of Hawkeye whereas Hank and Janet while not married tend to act sometimes like they are. The first serious move towards that direction came in the episode where they meet with Carol Danvers and a man who turns out to be Captain Marvel. The episode also bears out to beginnings of a Ms. Marvel. Also believe I saw Mockingbird in at least one episode.
The fact that I was recognizing so many villains before they were named as such was quite a change up from the DC shows because I rarely knew anything about most of them though the respective series did well to characterize them beforehand.
Then there is the hints of trouble between the Kree and the Skrull which makes me think the Skrull are possiby going to be in the series too.
Pepper so far in animation only appears in the 2007 Invincible Iron Man. This Pepper is very business oriented, no nonsense - Tony flirts with her, but she doesn't seem to reciprocate it. Its only in the films that Pepper was finally taken on as a love interest.
Prior versions of Justin Hammer that I have seen show him to be a man equal in years to the late Howard Stark. That Hammer was constantly trying to sabotage Stark Enterprises until he finally succeeds in fatally injurying Howard. Thereafter Tony takes over Stark Enterprises.
So that's why I found the younger Justin Hammer in Iron Man 2, a surprise.
